Tickets to the 2013 Jefferson Lecture at the John F. Kennedy for the Performing Arts are currently all spoken for.

All tickets that have not been claimed will be released at 7:30 PM on a first-come first-served basis to those waiting in the stand-by queue. Tickets are not guaranteed.

The 2013 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities is made possible through the generous support of American Express and HBO, with additional funding provided by the National Trust for the Humanities, the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and Paul L. Peck.
